• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is because in Kenya today, you cannot make a decision on remuneration and compensation without involving the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). You cannot make a decision on division of revenue and allocation of revenue without involving the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). Likewise, Government departments should not also be allowed to come with all sorts of ICT projects that are aimed at drawing commissions and kickbacks without the involvement and the professional input of the Ministry for Information, Communication and Technology. Even though we are going into the NIIMS, where we are capturing biometric data ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding these databases and containers that hold citizen data, we must allow the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology to have the last word on such projects, because ICT is a shared service. We are seeing line Ministries coming up with big multi-billion-shilling projects where the intention is to earn commissions. Consequently, when they come before the Senate or Parliament, they say that those are matters before court or secret. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: I beg to support this Statement and hope that we will interact with it when it comes to the relevant Committee. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my culture, when your father goes on a long journey, he might allow you to look after the homestead. However, when he comes back, you have to hand over the instruments of power. Is it proper and in order for Sen. Sakaja to continue making those kind of assertions, when just five minutes ago, Sen. Haji was sitting on the seat just next to him? Is it the case where the father has come back and he refuses to handover the key to the bedroom? Could he hand over with immediate effect? view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was about to support Sen. Cherargei’s Statement request, but he has ventured into unchartered waters. He has requested for a Statement and gone ahead to debate that Statement. Is he in order to mislead along those lines? view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill that has been brought before this House by the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, Sen. Samuel Poghisio. Madam Temporary Speaker, county assemblies are the most important cog in the wheel of devolution. That is why Article 176 (1) of the Constitution says: “There shall be a county government for each count consisting of a county assembly and a county executive”. As Sen. Orengo keeps reminding us, it was deliberately constructed in that manner to show that county assemblies are the ones that represent the will of the ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, statutory instruments are means of making law. Law is made from Bills that have been passed by the assemblies. They can come up with bylaws, circulars or regulations. The absence of Statutory Instruments Act or law for county assemblies has created a gap where county executives have been doing crazy things without consulting the people and the county assemblies. Madam Temporary Speaker, to further reinforce my argument that county assemblies are important, I dare say more important than the Senate, to an extent, in making sure that devolution succeeds in the counties. They have functions that the ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we went to Kakamega County two or three years ago, there was a proposal - I think this was in the Finance Bill that was before the assembly - to tax anybody who owned chicken. In that county if you do not own chicken, you are considered a foreigner. There was supposed to be huge tax for the owners of chicken, livestock and trucks bringing sugar, which is the bedrock of the economy of that region. There was also a tax on private funerals. These are things that the executive cannot sit in a corner and ... view
